/M: Altered Reality

Author Comments

Well... After 5 months and 1 day, I finally got something finished.
I started more than a dozen of projects, most of them progressed pretty far, but this one's finished now :)
I tried to do some goa, which worked out pretty well in the intro like you might hear. I got some tips for ZENON himself, (thanks man :p) and worked out a bunch of things myself too.
But because I'm used to making trance (also those projects still lying around) it all morphed into a happyish trancy thing. I think it worked out pretty well :)

Anyway, enjoy it I guess, and I encourage you to review it.
If you like it, you know where the fav links and the download link are :p

I'm not going to dedicate this I think, because I know I can do better than this. ^^

Read the author comments before reviewing ph0ne.
Nevertheless, I loved the intro, it was like "here we go!" out on the dance floor.
I frankly have heard so little GOA trance that I have yet to understand the difference between all kinds of Trance. Nevertheless I enjoyed this overall, but maybe I wished for something more. But hey! This is one of your old tracks. And don't ask me why I wanted to pop in just here. Maybe because I found the responsiveness of the member below disrespectful and out of hand. Keep it up man, I'm an eager listener to you as well now.

It was just terrible on the ears. You need to learn how to master properly, and not depend on limiters to do the work for you. Your melody is also annoying and high pitched. It doesn't really appeal to me. All I liked was the overall progression.

Keep working on it.

Oh, and don't you dare try to even RELATE this to goa trance. This is nothing like it, at all.

It's funny how you're still mad at me.

And back then, I didn't quite realize you were trolling me.
You are definitely right that the mastering in this is absolute suck.

About the 'this is not goa' part... Read the author comments carefully.

So I never stated I thought it's actually goa.
Thanks for the review anyway, lol.

I think the kick is a little metallic. The synth that starts around thirty six seconds in is a little bit to sharp. It does sound like zenons stuff but I wouldn't go with his tips all the time. I like the filter and everything but it sounds compressed and unnatural to me. at 1:39 you changed the whole song up for a very nice synth line. The Song picked up from 1:39 and was generally enjoyable if not a little sharp. Favorited just the same. good work.
